First off, I'd just like to point out that Scots ARE "Brits."  What we
AREN'T is English.

Second, is that the only coverage you saw? Up here in Toronto it got
coverage on TV as well as the newspapers. They showed pictures of a
levitating frog. I thought they also did it with a mouse. I suspect that
a
lot of people didn't quite catch the implications, but I thought it was
quite exciting. The apparatus is huge and clunky, though they mentioned
that
one of their next steps is to build a machine big enough to levitate a
human.

First the Mars rock, then cloning, then the suggestion that there might
be
life on Europa. Now anti-grav frogs. Maybe Jon should redo his timeline
in
the GZG rulebooks. It may be a little too conservative... :-)
